Modern Wargame Rules v2

Here are some scans of version 2, I hope they make sense.

Cold War period city fighting.

I had a couple of games today using my small and unbalanced collection of Skytrex Action 200 miniatures bought in the mid eighties.

 British Chally 1s and Warriors.

 A Soviet T-80 is KO'd.

 BMP-1s.

 A brace of BTRs.

 British Scorpions open fire at the BTRs.

 And blow them to bits.

 T-80s spot the Scorpions.

 And blow them to bits too!.

 The other T-80 platoon fire at the British tanks.

 And KO one of them.

 This unit score six to take three move actions.

 On the left flank the tank shoot out continues.

Two of the Chally 1s are KO'd.

 The BMPs break cover.

 The Brits fire anti-tank weapons from the building.

 With no effect!.

 The BMPs roll onward.

 The surviving two T-80s blaze away at the Challengers.

 A very sorry sight.

 The Russkies advance.

Blasted from the building by tank fire the Brits make a run for it.

This was a very short game, I had a longer and more exciting game after this using a larger board and giving the British a bonus of two on the initiative rolls to help balance the disparity in numbers.

I have amended the rules some more and I will publish the latest version soon.

Modern City Terrain

The Dropzone Commander Cityscape arrived yesterday. £18 special offer from Wayland Games, that's a bargain now!.

 My wife Carol helped me build the buildings.

 And we layed it out on the living room floor.

 It's very impressive.

 Today I had a game on it.

1/300th scale models look OK on it.

 These are photos taken at the end of the game.

 US and Soviets late 1980's fight it out.

 These T-80's were taken out by M1's.

 The Apaches need to reload.

 The Hind helicopters dropped infantry onto one of the objective buildings and proceeded to fire from their vantage point.

 Ambush in the alley!.

 Manouvre among the buildings made for a very tactical game.

The US attackers suffered badly as the Soviets defend the building with RPGs. But won eventually.

I'm delighted with it.

Cold War battle in the desert.

Today I had a small battle between my US and Soviet 1980's forces. It was a rules test for my Modern Wargames rules that I published on here a while back.

Here are a few post game/staged shots...

The rules as they stand require more work, but as a basis they work well.

I own quite a lot of 6mm modern stuff but they rarely see daylight because my terrain just does not look modern. However, that is about to change, I have purchased this...
